Nightmares,
are complete nonsense,
don't worry about them,
was what she was once told.
She woke up from another dream,
where she was stuck,
frozen in place,
as the evil monsters,
circled her
and advanced,
slowly,
one step at a time,
closing the circle,
tighter and tighter,
until she felt she couldn't breathe.
Then she would wake up.
But this time it was different,
she woke up
to darkness.
She tried to get up,
but someone,
was holding her down.
Something was over her face,
suffocating her.
Her nightmares were warnings,
when she was little.
But now they're reality.
She knows,
that if she doesn't act,
her nightmare,
will win.
And she won't wake up,
this time.
